I want to lookup a ip for a name and then get the mac address for the ip.
I am on a windows 7 workstation.
I want to get the ip adddress for a server named " bart"
I then want to get the mac address for it.
I was trying ping, ping -a and then arp -a however the mac address never shows up in my arp table. No mac addresses show up in my arp table.

You can try nbtstat -a bart
if u have install privileges and like apps go get
ColaSoft macscanner.
Picks at least all low flying fruit.

On my windows 7 workstation I am able to do the following for a server named surprise:
c:\>ping surprise
(result): Pinging surprise.domain.local [10.10.5.241] with 32 bytes
c:\>arp -a 10.10.5.241
(result)Interface (workstation IP)
Internet Address Physical Address
10.10.5.241 00-0c-45-33-5e-ee
Another way is to use the getmac command which only works if you know the username and password to the machine that you are trying to get the mac address from
getmac /S 10.10.5.241 /U domain/administrator
c:\>ping surprise
(result): Pinging surprise.domain.local [10.10.5.241] with 32 bytes
c:\>arp -a 10.10.5.241
(result)Interface (workstation IP)

You could try netscan which is a free utility (no installation required) it's available here http://www.softperfect.com/products/networkscanner/ (link to download is towards the bottom right) it should display the mac address for you. You can either choose to scan your entire network or just a single IP address (since you already know what it is)
Hope this helps.

hi
I'm curious as to what happens when you do
nbtstat -a bart at a command prompt.
MAC address should be at the bottom.
